Abstract:Enzyme hydrolysis with immobilized neutral protease was carried out to produce low molecular weight chitosan (LMWC) and chito‐oligomers. Neutral protease was immobilized on (CS), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), and N‐succinyl chitosan (NSCS) hydrogel beads. The properties of free and immobilized neutral proteases on chitosaneous hydrogel beads were investigated and compared. Immobilization enhanced enzyme stability against changes in pH and temperature. When the three different enzyme supports were compared, the neutral protease immobilized on CS hydrogel beads had the highest thermal stability and storage stability, and the enzyme immobilized on NSCS hydrogel beads had the highest activity compared to those immobilized on the other supports, despite its lower protein loading. Immobilized neutral protease on all the three supports had a higher Km (Michaelis‐Menten constant) than free enzyme. The Vmax (maximum reaction velocity) value of neutral protease immobilized on CS hydrogel beads was lower than the free enzyme, whereas the Vmax values of enzyme immobilized on CMCS and NSCS hydrogel beads were higher than that of the free enzyme. Immobilized neutral protease on CS, CMCS, and NSCS hydrogel beads retained 70.4, 78.2, and 82.5% of its initial activity after 10 batch hydrolytic cycles. The activation energy decreased for the immobilization of neutral protease on chitosaneous hydrogel beads. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 101: 3743–3750, 2006
